Our present circumstances are the accumulated conglomeration of our past experiences, our interactions, what we’ve learned…

… and, well…

Yes, that’s a bit simplistic, perhaps, but you get the idea. We don’t just “exist” in the present in a vacuum.

We all got here somehow…

🙏

Some of the experiences of the past are good, others are negative.

Some of the experiences need healing, others don’t.

⭐️

What do we need to do?

Well…

1️⃣ Take stock of the past.

Heal what needs to be healed, then turn and help others in any way we can— with whatever we glean…

2️⃣ Live fully present, you continue passing on the lessons you’ve learned from that past…

And, as we do…

3️⃣ Think bigger and broader than ourselves, serving the grand purpose that God had in mind when He designed each of us…

… and build something bigger and better than “just us.”

‼️ This is part 1 of a 4-part series with Trent Redwine, the Executive Director of Shepherds Fold.

In this episode he talks about growing up in “random places” and, eventually, enlisting in the U.S. Army.

We discuss compounding chaos and how we all, really, want order…
